All releases of Jam--Nuclear Physics Data Acquisition
Release Notes: A new API for creating Histograms. A new tree selector replaces old choosers. A "View" menu makes it possible to display several histograms at once. The rebin feature now has a chooser-style toolbar widget. A new class jam.sort.stream.LdfInputStream lets you sort LDF files produced by the Linux version of the HRIBF DAQ platform. jam.sort.SortRoutine now includes a utility object to allow the user to easily read in text files of gain factors and offsets, and easily apply them to sorted data.
Release Notes: A new jam.commands package handles all menu items. All menu items are also accessible from the console. Enter 'help' at the console for a list of commands. Preferences menu settings are automatically stored persistently between sessions, and are changeable via the console. When starting up in scripting mode by creating a jam.Script instance, it automatically uses quiet mode (no title screen or license dialog). Commands entered on the console saved, and the up/down arrow now retrieves the last commands entered at the console. There is a better GUI for batch export, and User Guide updates were made.
Release Notes: New toolbar buttons, an improved layout, "Area" and "Expand" drag boxes, new HDF and event file scanning options, no more JHF files, introduction of scripting (primitive and undocumented), improved dialogs in the Histogram menu, a Windows .msi installer, and a help browser launcher. Thread timing bugs have been fixed. There is no more explicit use of the system console.
Release Notes: Online events weren't getting written to disk, and plot repainting was slow because of anti-aliasing. On Windows, toolbar buttons had no outlines. There is a re-bin button to view 1d histograms with different bin sizes. The button layout for the action toolbar has been re-arranged. There is a 1d gate display by area highlight. The "no gate fill" preference now applies to both 1d and 2d. Javadocs have moved to a separate Jar file, JamAPI.jar. This release uses kunststoff L&F when running on Linux, sytem L&F otherwise.
Release Notes: This version patches some memory leaks, improves the behavior and icon appearance of the histogram/gate chooser, and makes cancelling offline sorting leave the histograms, sort routine, etc. containing the results of the sort so far.
Release Notes: The Histogram chooser includes icons to mark those histograms that contain gates. These icons include a "gates present but not all defined" icon and a "gates present and all defined" icon. The selection toolbar at the top and the action toolbar on the side can now be dragged away from the main window to make more room for the plot. The HDF I/O classes have been refactored to make more use of the Java Collections API, specifically Maps, which makes the code more readable. This also improves HDF I/O speed (at least theoretically).
Release Notes: The response time of the histogram and gate choosers has been tightened up. The histogram chooser now shows the histogram number, name, and whether it's 1D or 2D. A console command has been added for histogram display, e.g. entering "d 15" in the console will cause Jam to display histogram 15, if it exists. Additions for doing overlays will be included in the next release. To add clarity, the histogram number is now shown in the upper lefthand corner of the plots. A great deal of documentation has been added/corrected regarding communications with the front end computer.
Release Notes: This release will export .spe files readable by older versions of Radware on Solaris, or by any version of Radware later than 1997, regardless of platform. A bug where the .his file was always written to the user's home directory has been fixed. A problem has been fixed in HDF loading and in importing other formats where Jam wasn't closing the files, which meant you couldn't move or delete them until Jam was closed.
Release Notes: This release adds a gradient color scale, more text import options, and improved functionality of histogram projections.
